At the end of the Great Tribulation, it is foretold
that the Medes (Iran-Iraq, Moslem Brotherhood )
would come against Babylon. Jeremiah 50 and 51"Medes" most likely includes
terrorist-operatives

Below are articles that pertain to the build up of arms
by Iran and Iraq, with the help of Russia and China .....
financed by Saudi Arabia ( Wahabi Connection)

Terrorism will not end by missiles, bombs and urban warfare.
Terrorism will end when Moslems forsake their Islam ideology and convert to belief in Jesus Christ as God and
Savior.
Absolutely nothing else
on the face of this earth can change that fact.

Iran says Iraq and Iran are now "brothers" "We consider Iraq as our brother,"
Iranian Vice-President Mohammad Reza Aref told reportersIraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari, the first
Iraqi leader to visit Tehran in decades, said both sides stood to
benefit from a diplomatic rapprochement.Although it seems the visit of Jaafari's
ministerial delegation will bring neither of these projects
closer, Iraq's oil minister said he hoped his country could pump
a small volume of crude oil to Iran in return for much-needed
gasoline.http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=586&e=6&u=/nm/20050716/wl_nm/iran_iraq_dc

Iran to take out US with EMP bomb
ElectroMagnetic Pulse weapons  even
one of which could knock out America's critical
electrical and technologicalinfrastructure[ William R. ] Graham describes the potential
"cascading effect" of an EMP attack. If electrical
power is knocked out and circuit boards fried, telecommunications
are disrupted, energy deliveries are impeded, the financial
system breaks down, food, water and gasoline become scarce.
As [ Sen. John ] Kyl put it: "Few if any people would die
right away. But the loss of power would have a cascading effect
on all aspects of U.S. society. Communication would be largely
impossible. Lack of refrigeration would leave food rotting in
warehouses, exacerbated by a lack of transportation as those
vehicles still working simply ran out of gas (which is pumped
with electricity).http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=43956

Iran's Missiles capable of European targets Ed,
note: Will this threat bring up EU reliance upon US technology
and ' The Man
' ?Iran is working on
long-range missiles capable of hitting European capitals, as well
as nuclear and chemical warheads, an exile group said on
Thursday.Tehran was working on missiles with a range of 1,600 to
1,900 miles, capable of hitting cities such as BerlinGhadr 101 and Ghadr 110 missiles,
comparable to advanced Scud E missiles, at the Hemmat Missile
Industries Complex.
The exiles also said Tehran had in August tested a Shahab-4
missile with a range of 1,200 to 1,900 miles, depending
on the weight of the warhead. Shahab means meteor in
Farsi. Safavi also said Iran's Shahid Karimi Industrial
Group was pursuing nuclear and chemical warheads,
but he gave few details. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=574&u=/nm/20041202/wl_nm/iran_missiles_dc_1&printer=1http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/11/17/83609.shtml

Terrorist operatives within the United
StatesCells from Hamburg, Germany ;
Paris, France ; Egypt; London, EnglandEqually
important, it is becoming clear that hundreds, if not thousands,
of graduates of bin Laden's schools for terror are Muslims who
have grown up and been educated in the United States
and Europe.
the terrorist shock troops of al-Qaeda see their mission as an
international revolutionin their case, to create the khilafah, aglobal government under Islamic rule.
For them, Islamism is the new universal revolutionary creed
.......Their goal is a world state under Islamic rule

All this makes
clear that many of the terrorists we are now confronting are a
Western phenomenon, existing inside the Islamic diaspora that isan
established fact of life in the U.S. and Europe.http://www.freedomhouse.org/media/0501nr.htm

Turki, Ambassador to the U.S.
Saudi Arabia is an unregenerate
absolute monarchy whose kings and princes live in luxury but are
publicly dedicated to upholding and propagating the teachings of
the puritanical and militantly intolerant
Wahhabi sect of Sunni Islam. It also happens

industrial world seems unable to learn to live withouthttp://www.iht.com//articles/2005/08/01/opinion/edsaudi.php

Dubai: threat to America Owning many
ports ;
Harm to IsraelThe fact is everyone working at ports has security
responsibility just as individuals are responsible for locking
their own cars and homes, not the police. The company
managing the ports will have special access to all shipments,
timetables, routes, container content, bills of lading, secured
holding areas and, most worrisome to intelligence analysts,
access to information about secret US shipments around the world
including where such items are being shipped to and from.
The information gathered by any port operator, placed in the
wrong hands, can easily be offered to foreign agents
without the US knowing it, thus foreign management can create
an intelligence security nightmare for the US.
A good outcome of this issue coming to light is that in the
future no foreign entity should be allowed to control this vital
part of US security. At least the Brits were close democratic
allies, but Dubai and the U.A.E. are dictatorships and
dictatorships have a way of spiraling out of control in
successive years--look at Iran and Iraq.
The U.A.E. is also currently a major drug
transshipment point for Southwest Asian drug producing countries
and, being a major financial center, this makes the
U.A.E. an ideal locale for the money laundering that
is often associated with the drug trade. The U.A.E. has undefined
and open borders with Saudi Arabia and Oman, thus allowing drugs
and other goods, including weapons, to be
moved between those countries without scrutiny. A Middle East
open-borders crisis occurred in 2002 when North Korean SCUD
missiles were shipped to Yemen and then vanished. Considering
that the U.A.E. has open borders and would control ports on both
ends of a single shipment, we need to be seriously concerned with
U.A.E. control of our ports.

The U.A.E. is also a member of the Arab League and is a signatory
member of the Arab boycott of Israel. The
Syrian-based Central Office for the Boycott of Israel, a.k.a. the
Central Boycott Office, enforces the pan-Arab boycott of Israel

billion sale of an English company to government-owned
Dubai Ports World - giving it control of Manhattan's

Snow was chairman of the CSX rail firm
that sold its own international port operations to DP

left for President Bush's cabinet.http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/393375p-333478c.html

Dubai, UAE Shell Oil Nigeria ``Insurgents of all kinds are attacking the oil
industry as a way of fighting the governments in charge,'' said
Youssef Ibrahim, managing director of Dubai, United Arab
Emirates-based Strategic Energy Investment Group. ``It's
contributing to a lot of anxiety about the safety of supply
The militants said they targeted Shell today because Nigerian
military helicopters had used an airstrip operated by the company
to attack villagers in the Niger River delta.
``There is great anger this time owing to the loss of lives in
communities attacked by the choppers,'' Jomo Gbomo, a self-
described spokesman for the militants, said in a response to
e- mailed questions. ``We have very little regard for the lives
of these hostages as we have lost a number of civilians in these
raids.http://quote.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000103&sid=aTP6LlBq8Gr4&refer=news_index

Fear escalates over foreign possession of ports The Bush administration earlier approved the
deal, which has drawn escalating criticism by lawmakers who
maintain the United Arab Emirates is not consistent in its
support of U.S. terrorism-fighting efforts
...Meanwhile, the Bush administration is defending
its approval of the sale, and strongly resisting demands by
Congress to reconsider ...But one of those mayors, Martin O'Malley of
Baltimore, criticized Bush's approval of the ports deal as an
"outrageous, reckless and irresponsible decision" and
urged the president to reconsider"I think that they did not take into account
the vulnerability of America's ports," O'Malley said
He said only 5 percent of the shipments into the nation's ports
are inspected, calling that a stark contrast to Hong Kong, which
inspects 100 percent of shipments.
Dubai Ports World declined through a spokesman to respond to
O'Malley's remarks[ Sen.Charles, ] Schumer [ D-NY ] and others have cited
the UAE's history as an operational and
financial base for the hijackers who carried out the attacks
against New York and Washingtonhttp://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/politics/3669663.html

UAE to acquire 6 American ports
DP World, based in Dubai, has offered $6.8 billion for the
purchase of a British firm that operates the ports of Baltimore,
Miami, New
York, New Jersey,
New Orleans and Philadelphia,
Middle East Newsline reported.
The company said the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment in the
United States "thoroughly reviewed the potential transaction
and concluded they had no objection." The committee includes
representatives from the departments of Treasury, Defense,
Justice, Commerce, State and Homeland Security.
America's busiest ports are vital to our economy and to the
international economy, and that is why they remain top
terrorist targets," Sen. Charles Schumer, a New
York Democrat, said. "Just as we would not outsource
military operations or law enforcement duties, we
should be very careful before we outsource such sensitive
homeland security duties."http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/WTARC/2006/ss_gulf_02_13.html

UAE United Arab Emirates military cooperation with Pakistan
Industry sources said the UAE Army and Islamabad have been
negotiating to acquire a Pakistani BMS[ Battle Management System ]
that would link main battle tanks, armored personnel
carriers and combat vehicles in Abu Dhabi's military.
The sources said the system would be capable of forming a network
comprised of a range of Western platforms in the UAE land forces
and would not require the purchase of Pakistani military
platforms.

IBM Integrated Battle Management = technology : computerized
battlefield identification systems ( friend or foe)
The sources said the Pakistani system was not as advanced as
Western networks and could not be regarded as network-centric
warfare. The system was said to employ Very High and Ultra High
Frequency radio communications, with each vehicle capable of
serving as a relay. http://menewsline.com/stories/2005/january/01_03_1.html

LEBANON

From Iran through Syria to Lebanon :
Hizbullah arms
U.S. officials said that within days of Syria's military
withdrawal from Lebanon in late April an Iranian shipment of
munitions, mortars and anti-tank rockets reached Lebanon. The
officials said the shipment was flown by air to Damascus
International Airport and taken by truck to Lebanon's Bekaa
Valley.

"Syria continues to be a foremost supporter and weapons
supplier of Hizbullah, a terrorist group active in Lebanon, and
throughout the world, that has been targeting and killing
Americans and many others since the early 1980s," Rep.
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, chairman of the House subcommittee on the
Middle East and Central Asia, said.http://menewsline.com/stories/2005/august/08_02_2.html
